![You Can Trust God Even When You Do Not Know How He Will Do It.
Listen to how they answered: "we do not need to defend ourselves before you." Then, "the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty." That is faith talking. Then they said, "But even if he doesn't," and that is trust talking. They knew God could. They did not know exactly how He would. And their stand did not depend on the details. Their trust did not come with conditions. I call this a settled stand.
How this applies to you:
-- You do not owe the world an explanation for your faith.
-- They told the king, "the God whom we serve is able to save us." They did not question God's power, and you do not have to either. There is literally nothing God cannot do!
-- Their minds were made up about God before the furnace was ever lit, so the heat could not change their answer. When you are fully persuaded about God, nothing the devil or the people he influences can do will stop you.
-- When God has told you what He will do, have faith that He will do it. When He has not told you yet, Solomon's word still stands: "Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions."
-- You must learn to trust God even when you don't know what He's doing.
-- Paul said, "I am [positively] persuaded that He is able to guard and keep that which has been entrusted to me." You can put your whole life in those same hands.
-- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not know how God would do it, but they knew He was able. I have taught you this before: if you don't bow, you won't burn! Tomorrow, the king turns up the heat, and you are going to see what God does with three men who would not bow.](https://instagram.fsdv2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.82787-15/866565031_18642192478043036_4838727952594543674_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=108&_nc_map=urlgen_bucketless&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=SJCOoN8834wQ7kNvwHf7bAA&_nc_oc=Adol733g3H5GSv0f5wNJizOxh0xMs-J3Kii2MB1xdub3JbKyfYAlfWbqEgyb3ONolUA&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=instagram.fsdv2-1.fna&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=7ynhSIrGZ3oOn95UIyXhhg&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQK4PYlBzAODHCqMby8_HQDb__Gfv7c5imQf1NGr38mGHgOXuNrzkTc9U8C63DfXB9M-SLgBq4eN&oh=00_AQRP1Pjgu8tvouvxiZ6rJHkh9vLJb_KHbuxv5dVfO3Otlw&oe=6AEB8EC5)
